+==========================
+NumPy 1.15.3 Release Notes
+==========================
+
+This is a bugfix release for bugs and regressions reported following the 1.15.2
+release.  The Python versions supported by this release are 2.7, 3.4-3.7. The
+wheels are linked with OpenBLAS v0.3.0, which should fix some of the linalg
+problems reported for NumPy 1.14.
+
+Compatibility Note
+==================
+
+The NumPy 1.15.x OS X wheels released on PyPI no longer contain 32-bit
+binaries.  That will also be the case in future releases. See
+`#11625 <https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/11625>`__ for the related
+discussion.  Those needing 32-bit support should look elsewhere or build
+from source.
